Now, apparently, I share a common trait with Derek Zoolander of Zoolander fame.
I went sailing after work today. It was a light wind day, so I took the boat out on my own again just for some practice. As it turns out, I dont know how to tack (turning left or right heading upwind). I would get decent momentum, but end up stuck in the middle of the water when my boat is facing directly into the wind. I would change directions a bit and try it again.
This happened a few times before I would give up.
So to turn, I would jibe (meaning turning left or right heading downwind). I would do a full turn so it'd end up going the right direction
Here's in illustration of what happens.
I'm so lame.
